Justin Fields throws the ball in the training

The Steelers’ quarterback competition is still unresolved, and both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields performed well during their limited time in the first quarter of the preseason finale at Detroit.

Wilson started the game and guided the Steelers on a five-play, 60-yard touchdown drive. He completed 2-of-2 passes for 26 yards, and the drive ended with a 31-yard touchdown run by Cordarrelle Patterson.

Fields took the next possession and led the Steelers on a six-play, 35-yard touchdown drive. He completed 2-of-2 passes for 27 yards, with the drive ending in a one-yard touchdown run by La’Mical Perine.

The Steelers appear ready to give Wilson the starting role for the Week One game against the Falcons. However, the preseason competition has been close enough that Mike Tomlin still faces a difficult decision.
